Yesterday, I had a mail from the HR head of a Pharma company-wanting to know if I would be able to identify a 'returned Indian ' scientist for his organisation!

The company in question is a MNC -and does some pioneering work in the oncology and respiratory domains, and is ramping up its 'only Research centre outside of Europe'. It has about a score of labs-for synthesis and testing of new chemical entities-employing close to 70 research professionals-entirely of MSc and PhD qualified scientists.

They are on the lookout for an "associate director" responsible for managing multiple medicinal chemistry groups in support of small molecule drug discovery efforts.

The ideal candidate would be a Ph.D. in Organic/Medicinal Chemistry from a reputed Institute-if not a postdoctoral experience within a reputed university . About 10 years of relevant experience in managerial position. Contribution in independent design, synthesis, purification and characterization of novel compounds. Good project management skills.

Should you know of anyone keen to relocate to India, and do some pathbreaking work, please feel free to connect to me . Am reachable at [email protected]. I shall be glad to provide all clarifications and...more details.
